- I was born in St. Mary's Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, within spitting distance of the Mississippi, and
- have done almost nothing of consequence since.
-
- For the benefit of those who like to see such things in print (namely my mother), I will continue. My
- family moved to Steilicoomb, Washington (the prison island), when I was two. I wasn't a convicted felon
- at that innocent age; my father was a counselor in the prison. We moved to Seattle when he became a
- Probation and Parole Officer.
-
- After high school, I fled to Moscow, Idaho, where the winters are cold and the prople are warm. I shared
- this adventure with Maaike Brown and her sister, Shanna. We never would have survived if not for the
- hospitality of the folks of the Palouse Empire Science Fiction Association (PESFA). Maaike and I parted
- amicably after a time.
-
- At a Norwescon, I met Sharon Kingsford, my S.O., and we've been inseparable ever since. We migrated
- with the job market -- first to seattle, then to Austin, Texas (a fine town whose only real flaw is having too
- many Texans), then back to Seattle. I've worked for various odd companies, two fo the oddest being Steve
- Jackson Games (publishers of board games such as Car Wars, GURPS, etc.) and Fantagraphics Books
- (publishers of comic books such as LOVE & ROCKETS and HATE).
-
- I graduated from Shoreline Community College with an Associate Arts degree and an AAS in graphic
- Design, and am using my skills to work as a freelance graphics designer and illustrator, but only to
- support my true passion, office clerical work. Sharon graduated with an AAS in marketing (with
- disgustingly good grades) and is currently a corporate reporter for Dun & Bradstreet.
-
- We are both learning to speak Bahasa Indonesian, and plan to Indonesia next year to teach English for a
- living. Our eventual goal is to establish an import/export business to sell Indonesian witches and demons
- via mail order. This is assuming that we don't die horribly from malaria, earthquake, volcanic eruption,
- getting possessed by the spirit from a Balinese Rangda mask, or simply melt away in the heat. We can
- hardly wait!
